The last day to file our taxes was April 18th, which was Monday. And guess which day Chris decided to go file our taxes? Haha, of course. So, we had to run to the library and print out his bank statements from like May til December of last year so the tax person could see all of his business expenses. We went through all of our documents and at the end, we were told that we would be getting back $3,333. BUT we have that IRS discrepancy that says we input our numbers wrong from when we filed 2014 taxes and that we owe like $4,233. So, instead of just filing this year and paying the discrepancy off, we found out why we supposedly owe money and it's because Olympus filed a 1099-misc for Chris that doesn't even exist.
Ok, so here's the shortest possible story to tell you what happened:
the supposed 1099-misc that we "owe" the IRS says Chris did "$9,565 of work without paying taxes on that amount and so we owe taxes on that amount of money". BUT that was the first year that Chris started working with Olympus. He never got one check that didn't already have taxes taken out first. Plus, he never signed a paper allowing Olympus to distribute him a check that did not first have taxes taken out. On top of that, Chris got a printout from Ashley (in the Olympus front office) of all of his checks from 2014 and the amounts on the printout equal to... wait for it... $9,565. But those were normal paychecks where the taxes were taken out first before they were distributed to Chris. On top of THAT, ok, Chris got 2 different w-2's from Olympus in 2014. One was over $18k and the other one was for $660. Now, these amounts on the w-2's shows the amounts of checks that have already had taxes taken out of them. So, somehow Olympus has on file that they only paid Chris $9,565 in the year 2014 BUT the w-2 says that Olympus paid him roughly $19k PLUS that 1099-misc that says he got an extra $9,565 that didn't have taxes taken out. SO, Chris supposedly made almost $30k in like 6 months after just starting a new job and as we all know, when you get a new job, you start off with crap pay.
So, here we are today. It's Thursday. We found out about this discrepancy 2-3 days ago. Chris has yet to call any lawyers and he even told me that he was going to do it himself and he doesn't need me to do it for him. He said that he's finishing up his last assigned Olympus job this morning and either tomorrow or maybe this weekend or first thing Monday he's going to open this case. Chris was saying that Olympus will probably hold onto these last 2 checks that he's owed. The one that he needs to get this next Monday from last week. Plus, when I do his invoices this weekend for this week's work that we're in now.
BUT I was asking Chris last night about that just to make sure I heard it correctly, but then he was telling me "I don't know. We'll just have to wait and see what they want to do.
I mean, I guess that was post-worthy.
We didn't get to see our puppy last weekend. I was very disgruntled and disappointed. Week 3 for a puppy is the big week when their eyes and ears open and they get more active. Now, if we're able to go over this weekend, he will be 4 weeks and he'll be running everywhere and he's not going to remember who we are because I only saw him when he was 2 weeks old and I'm just hoping he remembers our smells. Probably not. But I hope he loves us anyways. And I hope he gets excited when we bring him home.
Peas to the world. oooOooo
